Question of the Week
" 'ello mate, I am a young fourteen year old and I want to know something...am I a lesbian? I broke up recently with my bloke because I did not like him. I am in love with a lot of women and think of then sexually. I even have a crush on this one girl at school. I told all my friends I was one (they do not care), because I did not know what to tell them. I really do not think I am one and think it is okay to be intimate with a friend and not call in a relationship. I think what I am dealing with is just love--would you agree? "

Was Darwin wrong about sex roles and mating choices? Yes, according to the director of Stanford University's Earth Systems Program, Joan Roughgarden, who also happens to be male-to-female transsexual. Joan is an expert on biological and ecological diversity, and she is mounting a serious - and credible - challenge to some long-standing beliefs about evolution. Her ideas may profoundly influence the way that we regard ourselves and our behaviors. She also shares her response to a recent book that many believe poses a serious threat to transgender persons.
